The Effect of Changes in the Angular Position of Implants on Metal Artifact Reduction in Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Images: A Scoping Review.

Objective: Dental implant artifacts can compromise the quality of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and challenge radiographic detection in surrounding regions. This literature review was conducted to examine the impact of implant angle modification on reducing metal artifacts in CBCT scans.

Materials And Methods: A scoping review of literature was carried out in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane databases.

The Glucose-Regulated Protein78 (GRP78) in the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) Pathway: A Potential Therapeutic Target for Breast Cancer.

Amongst all types of cancers, breast cancer is recognized as the most common cancer and a principal cause of morbidity and mortality in women. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathways are primarily activated in cancer cells and activate a signaling network called the unfolded protein response (UPR). Many tumors, by activating the UPR pathway, allow them to adapt and grow under stressful conditions.

Friendship Network and Dental Brushing Behavior among Middle School Students: An Agent Based Modeling Approach.

By using a standard questionnaire, the level of dental brushing frequency was assessed among 201 adolescent female middle school students in Tehran. The initial assessment was repeated after 5 months, in order to observe the dynamics in dental health behavior level. Logistic Regression model was used to evaluate the correlation among individuals' dental health behavior in their social network.
